My Hero Academia Creators Celebrate Prequel Finale with Special Art

By Megan Peters

My Hero Academia has been around for years, and while the main series treks forward with its final act, all eyes are on its prequel this week. After all, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has come to an end, and readers are reflecting on how the epic story came together as a whole. And of course, the franchise's artists are celebrating in their own way by dropping tribute art for the prequel.

As you can see below, the artwork was shared online with fans following the final chapter of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. The big chapter went live just recently, and fans were able to check in on Koichi sometime after the whole Naruhata incident. While Pop Step and the others recover from the fight, Koichi is living life in America as a fledgling pro hero hellbent on making amends for his vigilantism. And while the public is still wavering over his image, life moves on in Japan as Class 1-A prepares to make its first steps into U.A. High School.

Betten Court, the artist behind My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, posted some art to celebrate the big finale on his own social media handles. The sketch to the right showcases Koichi in his vigilante suit while Pop Step and Knuckleduster do their own thing to his side. The three were also inked by Yoko Akiyama, the artist behind My Hero Academia: Team-Up Mission. Koichi is in full gear while Pop Step relaxes in their school uniform. And as usual, Knuckleduster is looking intense in his vigilante get up.
